One piece at a time. That's all it takes. A grocery store, a drug store, a WiFi coffee shop, some bars, restaurants, bike shop, cupcake shop where Jerry the owner lives down the street in the new block of 3-bedroom flats.

Maybe not COMPLETELY without cars, but without having to use cars to get around for all the daily needs. I don't like cars.

This intersection, 800 South and 400 West looking north, is where The Granary District Block Party is happening this May. The group is going on an introductory tour Wednesday, Nov 10 at 9am to brainstorm.

The developer hopes that the market becomes a focal point for the city and tourism, like Pike Place Market (pictured below) in Seattle, Washington.…

Another local, cool event happening in The Granary District! I just found out about the Salty Streets Flea Market that is happening this weekend at Kilby Court which is right behind The Utah Pickle Company. It sounds like a lot of fun, and if you haven't been to Kilby Court yet, this will be a great…
